A winning bid at a silent auction gets Mella Davis
more than just complimentary services from landscape architect Victor Raphael.
It sparks an instantaneous attraction to the brooding bachelor that takes her
completely by surprise. Stern and tightly wound on the surface, irresistibly
masculine underneath, he's a challenge to her single-and-loving-it status and
to the heart she's learned to protect. And still, she can't help giving in.

Ever since love burned him in the past, nothing has
cracked Victor's calm control. Then he glimpses carefree, vivacious Mella at a
Miami charity event. Uninhibited days and sensual nights follow as she brings
warmth and desire back to his world, until doubt wrenches them apart. Opposites
attract, but can they also overcome their differences and sow the seeds to
thrilling and lasting love?

What inspired your book?

A trip to Philly and a
bachelor auction inspired the story for Untamed Love. My initial idea was for
Mella to win a date with Victor and twist him in all sorts of knots, both
literal and metaphorical. The story grew and morphed from there.

What would you like readers to take away from your
book?

That there's nothing wrong with taking a chance in love, or in life.

Which character did you have the most fun writing about?

I had a LOT of fun writing Mella, my heroine. She's free spirited in a way
that is very familiar to me. She's fun and sexually liberated and loves life.
But there were unfamiliar parts to her too. While I was writing her, she wanted
to take charge of the storyline and run full steam ahead into every adventure,
every encounter. It was like sitting inside a hurricane and watching it twist
and turn over a wild ocean. I never really knew what she was going to do and
that unpredictability meant Victor had no idea either.

What did you learn while writing this book?

I
learned that opposites definitely attract, but also sometimes they need to be
careful because of the capacity to misunderstand and therefore hurt each other.

What are three things you wish you’d known before
you reached where you are now?

I wish I'd been less concerned with amassing
debt. There are some experiences - life changing ones - I could have had if I'd
ignored cost. I wish I'd known how to market my work better. And I wish I'd known
the negative value of "enduring."

What advice would you offer to someone whose first
book is about to be released?

I'd say Don't stop marketing! It can be
exhausting but well worth it.

What’s the most interesting change in your life as a
result of being a published author?

I'd say the most interesting change is my
hunger to be on the NYT best seller list. Now I want it BAD!

What are your three favorite social media platforms
and how are you using them for promotion?

My favorites are the usual: Facebook,
Twitter, and Tumblr. I update Facebook and Twitter daily but could always do
more on Tumblr, especially when it comes to hosting contests and things like
that.

Oprah always asks, what do you know for sure?

I
know I'm happy.
